Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on April 30, 2021 and last updated on May 17, 2021. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a cooperative agreement.

Award economics. The award range on file is $500,000 -- $6,000,000. The agency has projected $12.0 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 10 awards. If the agency funds the expected 10 awards from the $12.0 million estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $1.2 million. Cost sharing or matching funds are required, meaning applicants must contribute a portion of the project budget from non-federal sources, factor this into your financial plan before drafting the proposal. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.

Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on June 15, 2021. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements.

Description

Amendment/modification 000001: The purposes of this modification are to update the following:1. Update Section I.B.“Topic Area” to add a formation temperature range requirement in the metric requirement statement.2. Update Section IV.C.i “Full Application Content Requirements” and Section IV.C.v “Statement of Project Objectives” to increase the page limit of the Statement of Project Objectives from five to seven pages. The focus of this FOA is the development and deployment of technologies and techniques that can affect the flow within the fracture network in the reservoir rather than controlling the flow into and out of the reservoir at the borehole. Successful projects would develop targeted and controllable reservoir fracture permeability modification systems that yield long-term effects but also a pathway to reverse the imparted effects. If the project permits, these technologies and techniques may be deployed in a small-scale field-testing site.
